This film is the absolute epitome of rebellious girl power and we can never get enough of it. Starring Geena Davis as Thelma and Susan Sarandon as Louise, it basically contains everything a woman could ask for in a film - a road trip, murder, robbery, badass ladies, plenty of feminist themes, and of course, an adorable young Brad Pitt. Though it ends in tragedy, it was and still is extremely popular with female audiences.
The 1991 film was controversial when it was first released, but it is now considered a timeless classic. It received six Academy Award nominations and received one for Best Screenplay. Both Sarandon and Davis were nominated for Best Actress, which is practically unheard of for the same film. All in all, it's a must-see if you haven't already had the pleasure.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
